Promise Ultra 133 controler card and Windows XP

[Brutuskend]

I just replaced my old Promise ATA 66 controler card with a new Promise ATA 133 card, and I can't get the XP drivers to install.
Everytime I try and install the drivers I get a BSOD...........
Is anyone using one of these cards in XP?
If so, did you have trouble installing the drivers?

Anyone know what the problem may be?

I didn't uninstall the old ATA 66 card drivers before I did the swap. Think this may be causing the problem?

I tryed installing both the drivers that came on the disk, and the drivers off the Promise site, but no joy with either of them!

Any help would be GREAT!!

T.I.A.

EDIT: BTW I'm using this ONLY to run my storage drive. Not booting from it, and I'm using only ONE drive on the ATA 133 card.

Well since the only thing you havent done is uninstall the ATA 66 then maybe thats what you should do.

Also check out Promise support site.. could be a known issue.

I can't uninstall the drivers because they don't show up anylonger (neither does the card since it's been taken out)

Nothing on the promise site.

I did look elseware before I asked my question here! 😉

I looked in the reg. to see if I could find referance there to the old drivers, no joy.

Anyone know WHERE in the REG. they might be?

Hmm.. odd. Since it doesnt give you the option to uninstall it.. probably happened when you installed the ATA133.

Just reintall the old ATA66 drivers.. restart.. then immediately uninstall it.

Also might try disabling all startups before installing the ATA133 drivers again.

Make sure you have the latest bios flash for your board. Download the drivers to a floppy, go to the device manger and wherever the card is listed, ie: Scisi and Raid controller or IDE controller, go to the update driver Wizard and install from the "don't search I will choose the driver" option. Then click on "have disk". Pop in the floppy and it should install with no problemo.
